ABOUT T.I.C.A. AIRLAB

Autumn 2012 - Residency Program (the Ladies' one)

T.I.C.A. AIRLAB is a theme-based residency program, setting out in spring 2012 with the subject-matterRE-ENACTMENT AS ARTISTIC STRATEGY. The strategy of re-enactment is an artistic approach that one encounters often in contemporary art. The idea of re-enactment one can say permeates to a certain extent the artistic operation all along the history of art, but a shift in perspective occurs in contemporary art: events are re-enacted not for the mere sake of commemoration, but for the relevance of the past event for the current situation. Furthermore, we can encounter re-enactments of not only historical events, but also of art works and actions done by other artists in the past, or even artists re-enacting their own work or actions. Thus one can say that through reaching back to historical events that have left a trace, or to historical circumstances that inspired creation of certain art works, artistic re-enactment is a way to question our present times through direct engagement not only of the artists but often of the audience as well.
